This is kind of the definition of a Bad Take

Holy fuck. Glen Hansard put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen—just him, a beat-up acoustic guitar, and a sound that filled the entire Hollywood Bowl. I was lucky enough to see him again in a much smaller setting and he was just as at home there. A horrible loss for music and for humanity.
RIP Glen Hansard. When I heard the news this morning I thought immediately of this amazing story he told about meeting Van Morrison at a young age. “Nice songs, nice voice, blah blah blah.”

I have a joke about Laocoön but I know you’d all tear it to shreds.
I had a joke about Calchas but I knew it wouldn't go well
I came up with a joke about Astyanax, but I threw it out

With that said, the proper sports fan protocol is this:
Americans should root for Balogun without feeling guilty.
Belgians and other opposing fans should root for America to lose 1-0 on a Balogun own goal.

Not exactly sure what to make of the new Phoebe Bridgers song and video, but I feel like I’m being both satirized and forgiven at the same time.

This might genuinely be one of the most bizarre sequences of events I’ve ever seen.

The more I think about it the more the only correct answer is “New Slang.”
had a debate last night about the definitive millennial song. some contenders: mgmt’s “kids,” yeah yeah yeah’s “maps,” kanye’s “all of the lights,” arcade fire’s “wake up,” postal service’s “such great heights,” animal collective’s “my girls,” lcd soundsystem’s “all my friends,” stroke’s “last nite”
